iPad OS 14 - can’t change external keyboard layout

I have bought a Bluetooth British layout external keyboard.


Keys do not map correctly and appear to take on the English (US) layout. ” -> @


The only keyboard language installed on my iPad is English (UK).


I have tried cycling through a bunch of different keyboard layouts in Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard. I keep getting the same problem.


I have tried installing the English (US) language on the iPad, and I still have the same problem after trying a range of combinations with Keyboard language and Hardware Keyboard layout.


Any suggestions?
